9. Passiflora hispida De Candolle ex Triana & Planchon (1873: 172) .

≡ Passiflora foetida Linnaeus var. hispida (De Candolle ex Triana & Planchon) Killip in Gleason, Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical Club 58(7): 408. 1931.

Lectotype (here designated):— MARTINIQUE. [Saint-Pierre]: Saint-Pierre , 4 May 1839, A. Steinheil 30 ( P04881879 !) ( Fig. 4 ).

Syntypes: — BRAZIL. Collector and collection unknown (G [specimen not located]). COLOMBIA. Nariño: Triana 2944 (COL!). GUADELOUPE. Perrottet s.n. (G!). MARTINIQUE. Plée s.n. (P [specimen not located]). SENEGAL. (“Herb. Cambess.”, [specimen not located]). SURINAME. Kappler 1518, Hostmann 652 (G!). VIRGIN ISLANDS. Saint Thomas: Wydler 100 (G!). VENEZUELA. Zulia: Plée s.n. (specimen not located).

Notes: —The protologue lists ten specimens (= syntypes) that Triana and Planchon (1873) associated with this new name. Killip (1938: 496) erroneously chose another specimen from Brazil at P as the neotype. Because several syntypes are extant, these take precedence over Killip’s erroneous neotypification. One such specimen showing diagnostic characters, Steinheil 30 ( Fig. 4 )—listed as an additional specimen examined in Killip’s (1938) monograph—is here chosen as the lectotype of the name.

The basionym, P. hispida , should be cited as “De Candolle ex Triana & Planchon” due to the citation “DC., mss., in herb. Mus. Paris” by Triana and Planchon (1873). At the level of variety, Killip was identified as the combining author by a footnote in Gleason’s (1931: 58) publication.
